I believe that on one FJ sqn, they were allocated two Silver Jubilee medals. The OC nabbed one, the other was raffled in the aircrew crewroom...
(Several members here missed out - but they know who won it!!)
Oddly enough when I got stuck on a Jag Sqn and we had a Sqn photo taken in No 1's, bar the old folks medal (LSGC) I was about the only one to have one and that being my lowly GSM. Every man and his dog had them at Odiham, at Bruggen a medal was a rarity.
